Far as the pneumatics I Like the idea of having a pressure relief valve and a pressure regulator to make it legal.

That makes perfect sense. A very good idea. And the argument of if the bumpers are articulating or not could be argued every which way.. Technically I would say they wouldn't be. What is the difference between a robot with center drop and this when it comes to the bumpers? They are moving up and down (Now yes not as much, but none the less. They are moving) so couldn't that technically be called articulating? The bumpers would only move with the wheels, which would go with the level of the ground, so wouldn't they technically never go above or below the rule book's allowance?

Just my thoughts. I may be misinterpreting something..
